EVENT TO GIVE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS A TASTE OF K-STATE AT SALINA

April 13, 2004

SALINA – Student panels, clubs, campus tours and plenty of fun – Junior Day 2004 will help high school juniors and their families experience a little bit of what college life is like at Kansas State University at Salina. The program is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, April 27.

“ Junior Day is a great chance for high school juniors to start thinking about college and get a head start on the process of choosing a college,” said Dixie Schierlman, associate dean of student life at K-State at Salina. “Participants will have a chance to meet current students and faculty members and find out what college is all about.”

There will be a forum of student organizations, Schierlman said, for the participants to find out about opportunities for campus leadership and involvement.

“ Even students who are thinking about going to a different college should be able to get something out of participating,” she said. “Just thinking about college – the application process, opportunities for involvement and academic standards – it’s a great thing to start during your junior year.”

There is no charge to participate, but advance registration is strongly recommended to ensure adequate meals and materials. To reserve a spot, go to www.sal.ksu.edu or call Bonnie at 1-800-248-5782 (toll free in Kansas only) or 785-826-2640.
